Discord member details how documents leaked from closed chat group: The online group that received hundreds of pages of classified material included foreigners, members tell The Post - "In a video seen by The Post, the man who the member said is OG stands at a shooting range, wearing safety glasses and ear coverings and holding a large rifle. He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target.

...

"But OG had a dark view of the government. The young member said he spoke of the United States, and particularly law enforcement and the intelligence community, as a sinister force that sought to suppress its citizens and keep them in the dark. He ranted about 'government overreach.'

...

"It was not 'a fascist recruiting server,' he told The Post." [ed. note: when you don't know you're being redpilled]

'''Thousands of military personnel and government employees around OG’s age, working entry-to-low-level positions, could plausibly have access to classified documents like the ones he allegedly shared, according to U.S. officials and experts who have seen the documents reported in the media. Despite what his young followers thought, OG would have had no special knowledge compared with his peers. He possessed no special power to predict events. Rather, he appears to have persuaded some highly impressionable teenagers that he’s a modern-day gamer meets Jason Bourne.

...

"The member said he’s confident the authorities will find OG. But when they do, he won’t be charged. Instead, he believes, OG will be imprisoned without due process at Guantánamo Bay or disappeared to a 'black site,' if he’s not 'assassinated' for what he knows.

"The member, as well as the OG follower who corroborated his account, found no fault in their leader’s actions and instead said they blame the teen who posted the documents on the wow_mao server for wrecking their community."

America needs clean electricity. These states show how to do it. - "The biggest obstacle to building new nuclear plants is their cost. Construction on the last nuclear reactors built in the United States, at Georgia’s Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, is six years behind schedule, $14 billion over budget, and contributed to bankrupting Westinghouse. The debacle has become a cautionary tale to would-be nuclear developers."
